    Aircrew (Re)Selection

    Hi I'd always love to hear forum members' feedback. Sorry for the delay in getting back here. Been busy. But yes please feel free to answer my questions. In the meantime I have begun working on my PPL and flight school to prepare myself for the aircrew selection test in Trenton. What else...

    Photos from my recent trip to Canada's mlitary cemetery in Normandy

    Same here. It humbles me every time I get to visit the D-Day landing areas. You should definitely go there. Make sure you're able to spend at least 2 full days if you want to see the important areas of Normandy from Caen all the way to St. Mere Eglise. But if you don't have the resources or the...

    Photos from my recent trip to Canada's mlitary cemetery in Normandy

    I recently traveled to France to visit the D-Day landing beaches and towns one more time. However this time I had the privilege of visiting the Canadian military cemetery near Caen, and took some photos. Also got to visit the Juno beach centre and the nearby landing beaches. Now if it is okay...

    CFRG and the broken recruiting system-Split

    I have not lived in the US. Don't know where you got that. I've actually lived in Canada for more than 10+ years. I was honorably discharged from my country of birth's military service for which I have proper documents to present if asked. No problem. And I can still say that you sir know...

    CFRG and the broken recruiting system-Split

    So basically 1-2 yrs of wait time to go through the recruiting process is okay with you then? Well since it is not your life/time that gets wasted I can see how you may not be able to understand my point of view. I have a friend (born in Canada of British parents) who had to wait for more than...

    CFRG and the broken recruiting system-Split

    A great article by a good Canadian journalist. It's a sad state of affairs it seems. I e-mailed her to tell her about the lengthy process that some have to go through for various unnecessary reasons.

    US Army explores sea-basing of Apache helos on USN warships

    Sounds like what the Brits have done since retiring their Harriers. Althought The US Army special ops aviation regiment has a history of staging off US naval ships. They did so during the Tanker War of the mid 1980s in the Persian Gulf.

    RCAF Leather Jacket (merged discussion and mocking)

    Aircrew (Re)Selection

    Wonderful. So happy for you. Can you elaborate on the vision test? I did my eye exam today (at a private clinic/optometrist office) and both my eyes are 20/20. Though one eye is weaker than the other but it is barely noticeable and doesn't need glasses or anything. Did blood test and physical...

    A few important questions from a potential candidate

    Just got my citizenship last week and I thought it is best to let the forum members know I have started the CF application. Gotta study a bit, do some mental and physical tests and tasks, work hard and submit my app. Please wish me luck. Thanks
